[What happens if the modest proposal is never considered?
The federal government has already established a sovereign religion. This religion lays words (obligations) upon the people in the name of a multitude of organizational objectives.
They have maintained transfer payments through shady accounting. They borrow 4 dollars for every 10 they spend.
The religion of big government (il)liberalism is a false religion.]
